| 0:00.0 | David just told me that tomorrow is you said the anniversary of the Carmen Gia? |
| 0:05.3 | Yes. July 15th? Yep. |
| 0:07.7 | Well, that's crazy. 1955. 1955. 1955. Wow. I was at a restaurant last night and there was a European car, |
| 0:21.2 | a British car outside. And I thought it was an MG because I kind of watched |
| 0:26.0 | walked past it quickly. My dad has always been interested in having a little MGB. |
| 0:31.8 | And so I glanced at this thing and I saw like, oh, that's an MG. It's got top down. |
| 0:38.0 | That's really cool. It's like Army Green. And so we went inside to this little ice cream place |
